Determining Which Payment Method You Will Use

 There are two payment options when processing payments for commissions owed to the affiliates: via Check & via PayPal 

Check Payment

Check payment is the defaulted payment method. If the PayPal MassPay configured is not completed, then the payment process assumes cutting paper checks for the commission payments.

PayPal Payment

Paypal payment requires the Paypal payment integration using either the "Express Checkout" or "Website Payments Pro (Express checkout and Direct Payments)" integration options, which allow for the MassPayment API calls that are used to generate and send payments for the affiliates' paypal email address. In addition to the integration of paypal, you'll also need to configure the following options in the "Payment Options" section of the Affiliate Management "Settings" tab of the Affiliate Management area:

 

SettingNotes
Allow Payment via PayPal      

When checked, UltraCart allows the affiliate to specify the email for their PayPal account. The merchant can then pay the affiliate via PayPal's MassPay electronically. We recommend this option.

Require Payment via PayPal      


When selected, all affiliates will be required to specify a PayPal email address to receive their commission payments. Paying affiliates with PayPal MassPay is the easiest way to send commission payments. If you are not familiar with PayPal MassPay we recommend checking it out.
